Greenwood Cemetery. Unclaimed Dead.

Greenwood Ccmctrry'- Unclaimed Dead.
Superintendent Wells tells a story illustrat
ing how selfish human nature crops out even
in the sacred duty of burying ones dead. At
tached TO the cemetery is a receiving vault
that will hold 100 bodies Collins are kept
there until lots are procured and graves pre-
pared for them. The fee for leaving bodies
at the time Of which he spoke was 81 each,
and it was kept at this figure until il came TO
he noticed that the vault was gradually fill
ing up and the arrivals were constantly larger
than the departures. Investigation showed
that some Of the bodies had been left there
for years, waiting the further attention of
friends who never came. There were ascer-
tanned to be over 500 Of these collins, and
finally the corporation dug trench and
placed all Of them in it, styling the grave
The Unclaimed Dead" After that the fee
for receiving bo'iies at the vault was raised
TO $50, which sum is applied on the burial lot
account when a lot is bought. Since then
only few bodies have been deserted in the
vault York Tribune.

say that the railroad itself is an interest
somewhat large in the future of Florida,

Heretofore no full understanding of
the methods which gained high prices
for well known brands and obvIated the
risk of loss to the ow ners of extensive
groves have been presented to the small
growers. The discussion of these in The
NEWS will, We hope, be profitable as well
a. interesting to numbers whose trees
are just coming into bearing and who
will learn that the gro,cing Of oranges
does not necessarily solve the questions
Of profit and loss connected with them.
Other letters, we are glad to announce,
will follow those already published.

ARAILROAD HORROR.

A COLLATION. on the Baltimore aud
Ohfo-Fearful Loss OF Lffe-Roass.
ed TO Death:
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
which left New York about 8 O'Clock yes
terday morning for Chicago, with Eve
coaches and four sleeDers, ali we'll filled
with passenger, collided with an East
ern- bound freight train seven miles east
OF this city about 4 O'Clock this morning.
The fast train was about fifty minutes
late and was running at the rate Of sixty
miles an hour. Passing Republic. . small
station, like flash, they rushed along
to curve one mile west OF that town,
when suddenly the engineer cav . freight
train under full Roadway within Q 100
yards of him. He at once applied the
brakes and reversed his engine, but it did
no good. and the next instant the crash
came. t. lescoping the coaches and phi .og
them on each other.
CLEAN-CUT TELESCOPE
The freight train was eastward bound,
had xpected to make siding at Republic
and was probably making a rate Of speed
of not less than thirty miles per hour.
and thus running in opposite directions
on the same track caused q telescope as
clean cut and disastrous a. has ever been
witnessed. The engines were run into
each other as one stoveDipe fits into its
mate, and all that could b seen was .
chaotic mass of brass, iron and steel.
At an early hour there were hundreds of
people coming to the scene of the disas-
ter ready and anxious to do what they
could for any of the unfortunate suffer
ers who might need help, but it appears
that just as soon as the Baltimore
& Ohio agents could get to the wreck
they carried out of the county the
wounded, dying and dead. II il believ-
ed that the.e were at least twenty two
bodies burned beyond all possible recog-
milton.
LOGAN's SISTER IN THE WRECK.
Among the passengers in the sleeper
were Mrs. Fish, of Joliet, ILL.,, sister of
Gen. Logan, and her son Charles, Meth

was so terrific that the farmers in the
neighbOrhOod took it to be an earth.
quake. and were soon at the scene Of the
wreck. In the confusion OF the wreck q
hot dispute arose among the trainmsn
as to the responsibility for the disaster.
1t appeared that the freight train wa
running on the time Of the express. The
engineer was heard to remark that he
had left the last siding with only thirty
east of Tiffin, his engine went back on
him" and the train stalled. No danger
signals were sent out ahead, and the ex
press, running at full speed down grade
and around a curve, had no warning OF
the impending danger until an instant
before the collision.

STREET FAkIRS OF PHILADELPHIA.

Familiar Figures ON the sidewAlk-Ths
Handkerchief and Suspender Man.
The suspender and handkerchief gentlemen
are curious looking objects in business hours.
They are literally loaded down with their
wares. Dozens of suspenders of all grades,
from the very cheap to the cheapest male,
dangle from both arms, and in each hand are
large quantities Of coarse handkerchiefs
ranging from ) cents to Is cents apiece Is
is not unusual to see four or five of these fell
lows talking together over the state Of trade
in general and suspenders and handkerchiefs
in particular. They are looked down upon
by the fakirs who own stands, and they move
in a circle of their own. They make about
81 a day each.
The lamp shade fakir is a character worth
studying. He sells nothing but tissue paper
lamp shades but he understands this business
from top to bottom. He can always gather a
crowd by showing the many wonderful
shapes into which he can twist a shade, and
he is constantly practicing the most graceful
personal attitudes to catch the eyes of the fair
pedestrians He is very dramatic in all his
gestur es and has a deep bass voice, which he
uses with great effect.
"Penknives: Best Sheffield and American
make; take your choice for p cents" is the
sign tackled OH to the side of an elaborate
stand ON Market street Dozen of knives are
displayed in a confused heap on a red cloth
table. They range in size from a delicate lit
tie pearl handle penknife to q gardeners
pruning knife but they all cost the same.
The steel, il is needless tn say. is not Of the
finest, and the knives are finished very
roughly. They are all good counterfeits Of
the better grades and would fool any one who
was not a good judge of cutlery. They sell
rapidly and the knife fakir makes money.
He is an Englishman and speaks with cock
ney accent.-Phiradelphia Times.

The cold wave has been here and Jack
Frost has done his worst in our groves
for this winter. Wherever else these
icy winds are now disporting themselves,
whether in the rigging of ships on the
high seas or the spicy shades Of Cuba and
South America, or whether they have
cast away their dangerous properties at
the suit Of tropic sun, the people OF
Florida breathe easier for their absence,
and We confess to . feeling Of relief. The
danger is passed, aud We can now quietly
reckon up our losses and look forward to
the future.
Undoubtedly some damage is done,
but il is equally true that the loss is
slight, and that We have no disaster to
fear such as overlook US last winter. If
the growers will only keep cool, the loss
sustained will be amply compensated by
higher prices realized for uninjured
fruit. Within the next few days all or
anges touched by the frost will drop
from the trees, and unless these are sud-
denly hurried upon the market the cold
will have no depressing effect on prices.
1t 10 bad policy as we'll as dishonest prac,
tice which ships these ''drops" as good
fruit, and only inexperienced buyers can
be deceived by it. But if the attempt
is extensively made, the impression that
all Florida fruit is injured may be pro
dueed, and the consequent fall in prices
will cost us thousands of dollars. Sc
the salvation of the markets rests with
the growers themselves, and we would
urge that no fruit be shipped till a true
understanding of the condition of things
here can be obtained and storage rooms
have time to clear themselves.
